"But godliness with contentment is great gain." 1 Timothy 6:6
A materialistic society tends to measure gain exclusively in financial or material terms. Paul here reveals God's counter-cultural value system. Gain is not measured by material wealth, but by a godly contentment with what we have. Can you imagine what would happen if every committed Christian were to covenant with God to be content with necessities and to use extra funds to support new missions outreach? What a fantastic leap in world evangelization would result from such a response!
God, give us Your perspective on things. Teach us to be faithful stewards of Your gifts.
